Details like dates for all but the Rainbow Six event were not revealed, but the content creator assured he would keep fans posted about any developments.

The American Twitch star will conduct at least five more competitions involving content creators. The list of suggested events that Jynxzi disclosed can be seen below:

He elaborated on the Rainbow Six event a bit, which will be held this Saturday, April 25, at 5 PM ET. It will have 40 streamers competing, and Jynxzi even tweeted that I "Need 40 Streamers for R6 Tourney" in the middle of announcing these tournaments.
Having not streamed League of Legends yet, Jynxzi also stated that, for the purpose of the tournament, he most likely would have his debut LoL broadcast this Sunday.

Jynxzi also mentioned that for the 100-streamer Fortnite tournament, he was trying to coordinate with Epic Games itself. This is mostly to do with which would be the best way to go about arranging the points system, as there will be so many participants.
While the first four entries were his idea, the Apex competition was suggested to him by chat. The 24-year-old seemed drawn to the idea and included it in his list, adding that he needed to figure out how things would work concerning custom play and other related arrangements.
What happened when Jynxzi hosted previous streamer tournaments?
Jynxzi's most recent previous attempts to host such events, that too in games he is not all that familiar with, have resulted in pretty successful endeavors. He first hosted a Counter-Strike competition across two days in mid-March. As expected, it was an influencer-led, entertainment-first event rather than a professional circuit, but the sheer anticipation and hype among fans ensured it managed to rival major esports titles in terms of audience engagement.
In fact, this Counter-Strike tournament significantly outperformed the metrics typically seen at Tier-2 professional events, proving the immense drawing power of top-tier streamers. By the end of its three-and-a-half-hour run time, it had taken up the seventh place in the top eight Counter-Strike competitions of 2026 list so far.
With this success driving him forward, Jynxzi held a Valorant streamer event in early April. Over 40 creators livestreamed it across Twitch and YouTube, and the 301,832 Peak Viewers (PV) it did made it the agent shooter's most popular event organized by a single creator.
More telling was the fact that Jynxzi's Valorant streamer event attracted higher audience interest than the ongoing VCT 2026: EMEA Stage 1 and VCT 2026: Americas Stage 1 by concurrent viewers. It also fell just shy of the peak viewership of the EMEA Kickoff. As a result, it takes pride of place as the eighth most popular Valorant competition so far in 2026.
Jynxzi's popularity, love for shooter games and ability to engage with audiences have helped his first two streamer tournaments exceed expectations. This has encouraged him to branch out to other titles, and there is no doubt that these events will also do well. Who knows, they might even challenge traditional tournaments in terms of viewership reach.
